Acacia Fillo Bar is a family operated business led by Vera Eftovska-Ivanova and her husband Ziggy Ivanov. It was established in 2006 as a natural expansion of Urban Catering, a successful catering business operating since 2001. Vera Eftovska-Ivanova comes from a family which has been in the food industry for generations. Her father is the founder and successful operator for 35 years of three coffee shops with in-house made pastries in Sofia, Bulgaria. Other family members are the owners and managers of bakeries and cafés in New York, Paris, Berlin and Skopie. As the descendant of the family tradition, Vera herself has owned and operated a bistro for 5 years in her home country. She also is the owner of Urban Catering. Vera graduated from the Technical School of Public Catering in 1988. In 1990, she graduated with a Diploma from the Central School…

Banitza is prepared by layering a mixture of whisked eggs, imported cheese from Bulgaria called “Sirene” and various fillings, between fillo pastry, and then slowly baked in the oven. Banitzas are usually served with plain Balkan-style yoghurt.

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR

Customers & Friends

“Tim and I want to extend our sincerest appreciation for contributing to such a wonderful family celebration. We were so pleased with the efforts of your service staff and the extraordinary lengths you went to insure that our food lived up to our expectations. I was especially grateful for the extra research and thoughtful attention given by Polina to make sure everything was planned carefully– especially the effort given to selecting plates/glassware for service and luncheon and time attributed to wine ordering! It was a real pleasure for Tim and I to work with you, and I look forward to wholeheartedly recommending your services to friends and family as well as next year’s bar mitzvah class parents!! Thank you Vera!!
With our very best wishes,
sincerely,”

“Dear Vera, Thank you so much for all the delicious food you made for Bruce to bring to his Dad’s 92nd birthday last Friday. It was all so good and much appreciated by us and our friends- they are still talking about the feast we had! I hope we’ll be in the West End soon and can come into your restaurant for lunch.”

“Thank you for making our pre-Christmas dinner party such a success. The food was a delicious experience and the service (including the roses at each setting) was wonderful. Our guests gave rave reviews and all asked for your phone number. We will be calling again in the near future so that we may experience yet another culinary delight prepared by Chef Vera.”

“I heard about Urban Catering from a friend who was quite excited about their service and prices. I called and had a catering done for 50 people. It was amazing! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience food of great taste and diversity. Try it!”

“I used UC services for my daughter’s 7th B-day. We enjoyed food that was fresh, healthy and most importantly loved by kids. I also had the cake made by them for the number of children invited. It was easy and at a very acceptable price. Thank U.”

“My party was totally taken care of and everybody complemented me. I was able to enjoy my guests and not worry about a thing. Urban Catering took care of the food, the serving, the delivery on time and the whole atmosphere. Good job, Vera.”
